Rodrigo's desktop is pretty simple—date and time in the center and a good-looking wallpaper to greet him, a good-looking dock on the left side of the screen, and a nice Windows theme to keep everything looking sharp. It's also elegant, and that's why we like it. Here's how to set it up.

Rodrigo's desktop isn't brimming with widgets or features—this one's much simpler; just the date and time on the front that you can see when the screen is locked or nothing is up, but nothing you'll miss when you open up some apps and get to work. The dock on the left is a nice contrast to everything else, and the taskbar at the bottom is out of the way and transparent. If you want the same look, here's what you'll need:

That's all there is to this one - it's much simpler and easier to set up than some of the others we've highlighted recently. It's worth noting that we're taking an educated guess on the dock and the icons that Rodrigo used here—he didn't include them in his description, and some other folks asked him about it but he hasn't responded. It could be a different icon pack, so if you recognize it, let us know!
